Members JAS0N47 Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 NEW YORK (May 20, 2020) — The 47th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards will be presented in a two-hour special on Friday, June 26 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, CBS and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) today announced. This will mark the 14th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmys®, more than any other network. “The Daytime Emmys are coming home,” said Adam Sharp, President & CEO of NATAS. “For generations, daytime television has been a source of comfort and continuity that’s never been more important. We’re delighted to join with CBS in celebrating the programs and professionals who never cease to brighten our days.” “As a leader in Daytime, we are thrilled to welcome back the Daytime Emmy Awards,” said Jack Sussman, Executive Vice President, Specials, Music and Live Events for CBS. “Daytime television has been keeping viewers engaged and entertained for many years, so it is with great pride that we look forward to celebrating the best of the genre here on CBS.” The Daytime Emmy® Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in daytime television programming since 1974. The awards are presented to individuals and programs broadcast between 2:00 am and 6:00 pm, as well as certain categories of digital and syndicated programming of similar content. This year’s awards honor content from more than 2,700 submissions that originally premiered in calendar-year 2019, judged by a pool of 1,000 peer professionals from across the television industry. Nominees in the competition’s 100 categories will be announced tomorrow, May 21, on the CBS Daytime program “The Talk” and ETOnline.com, followed by wide release to other interested outlets. The June 26 telecast will be produced by the National Academy and Associated Television International (ATI), which previously produced the Daytime Emmy® Awards on The CW in 2009 and CBS’ most recent broadcasts in 2010 and 2011. “In these challenging times, daytime has been a primary influence in staying connected with its audience, entertaining them, and keeping them informed,” said 47th Annual Daytime Emmys® executive producer and director David McKenzie of Associated Television International. “We are honored to be a part of it. We are also excited for the challenge of introducing a new format that will celebrate the contributions of daytime television.” Awards will be presented in leading categories during the telecast, with recipients and other special guests appearing from home in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional categories will be announced simultaneously on Twitter (@DaytimeEmmys), and others will be presented in a separate ceremony in July 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 CBS must be desperate for original content, hence why this was picked up for national broadcast television after a long period. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted May 20, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 They are. They would have had Love Island, Blood & Treasure. The Tony Awards and possibly the first week of Big Brother in June. Now all of that is on hold. All they have for June are the series finales of Man with a Plan and Broke, plus one new show, Game On. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 Well that's nice. Yeah desperate times, but at least it's back on TV and even network TV, not some off brand cable outlet that uses the same muzak all night long (HLN, I'm looking at YOU) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 All of a sudden we're getting all this soap related stuff, lol. This year I guess they'll actually have time to show reels. That's nice. I wonder if they'll have all the nominees cued up on Zoom and then announce the winner, like they did on Survivor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 Good for the Daytime Emmy's not only getting uncancelled but to get back on network television. Even if CBS is desperate for content. Personally I don't think I've watched a full Daytime Emmy's ceremony since that year GL and Y&R tied for Best Show. I watched a little of that CW ceremony but changed it when I saw Tamara Braun won for some crap role on Days. I think I saw five minutes of one on the POP network that looked super cheesy, otherwise I just read the aftermath usually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kalbir Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) I haven't watched the Daytime Emmys since 2011. I just followed the discussions here all the years since. They were so much more fun than watching the actual ceremony Please register in order to view this content Edited May 20, 2020 by kalbir 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 THIS my sentiments exactly. It’s crazy considering that it will have the Production values of a YouTube live broadcast this year 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted May 20, 2020 Members Share Posted May 20, 2020 Despite there not actually being a real ceremony at least they are televised this year! And on CBS no less! That hasn’t happen in like a decade I think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 Why bother airing it? It hasn't been viable for at least a decade 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 I'm happy for some original content. I hope they show reels. And lots of clip packages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted May 21, 2020 Members Share Posted May 21, 2020 It's really not as interesting with only 4 soaps on the air, but I'll take what I can get at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
